Be held in Macau in September — DOMAINfest.Asia to

Domain name conference heads to China in a few months.

DomainFest MacauI’ve been a bit confused by NamesCon’s strategy with DOMAINfest following acquiring the brand. The one day add-ons to existing domain name conferences haven’t made much sense to me.

But now DOMAINfest is hosting a complete conference, this time in Macau, China.

DOMAINfest.Asia is being staged by the NamesCon, Simon Cousins’ Allegravita and .Asia. Allegravita has been staging events in Macau for over ten years, and Cousins tells me he hopes to bring together the Chinese domain name market with the rest of the world.

DOMAINfest.Asia will take place September 4-7, 2015. Details (counting venue) are forthcoming.
